Longer Workout: BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE LEVEL - Foot-focused Matwork with Brenda
The Lower Body (Hips, Knees, Ankles and Feet) • 33m
Brenda takes us through a Matwork class which, as the title suggests, focuses on our feet!
Brenda looks at how our foot alignment affects how we move through the rest of our body, particularly our ankles and knees, and how changing out of a standard 'parallel position' can challenge our movement.

Brenda trained as a dancer at London Contemporary Dance School and has performed as both a contemporary and hip hop dancer professionally. She was introduced to Pilates at Dance College and it helped her throughout her dance career to recover from injuries including an achilles tendon rupture. It also helped to prepare and repair her body during both of her pregnancies.
Brenda completed her Pilates teacher training with Body Control Pilates in 2017 and her thirst for knowledge of the body and movement continues to inform her teaching and benefits her clients with what she continues to bring into the studio.
